Ouch. Thanks for clarifying.

Thsnks for that but I thought that was prior to player trading of circa 35 million? Hence circa 60 million in actual losses?

Yup. You need to post that everytime a new name is mentioned. Venkys Out. Nothing else matters.

I think you are a tad confused as to the scale of our yearly losses. To clarify, the entire fees garnered from the sale of Wharton and Sammie, do not cover our anticipated trading losses over a two year period. We have never been self sufficient even going back to Uncle Jack and the Walker Trust.l years. Absolutely cloud cuckoo land thinking we can be anything like self sufficient in the Championship by selling an academy player or two. Taking into account all player sales, the owners have still lost circa 60 million in the last six or seven years.

Some terrible names are being nentioned. Lowe, O'Neil, now Dyche. It's really depressing.

Simply put, Eustace is an ambitous young manager who prior to Xmas was faced with run of games that included the top four, had a physically tired and stretched squad, a lot of players injured or playing in pain and desperately needed fast support from above to help in his hour of need. It did not happen. Our position of strength has been eroded and i doubt he now believes we will achieve the play offs. He's been looking tired the last few weeks. He's tried his bollocks off. They all have. We are in a far better position now than when he came. Let him go nearer his family. He's done well.

Losing seven on the bounce suggests to me they are in freefall and aren't very good at football and don't have very good football players. I'll check my head. You check the form guide.

Yes Leonard. That's certainly how it's looking just now. Especially if Eustace leaves. There is however a resilience and team spirit within the group that offers a ray of hope.

Make a dickhead comment get a dickhead reply.

Oh. Silly me. I thought it ended Feb 28th, unless it's a leap year.

Seriously tarnished? They had lost seven on the bounce before today. He'll be expected to go down and revered if they stay up. I can't remember Rovers losing seven on the bounce in all the years I've been supporting. That is seriously shit.

All very good points. I'm neither confident or pessimistic. It's all to play for and I don't know if the new lads can make a difference. For balance we have played Burnley, Sunderland. Leeds and Sheff United in that period and had a lot of injuries.

We have won 2 out of the last 11. If we win 5, lose 5 and draw 5 of the next 15, Eustace will then have 7 wins from 26 played. Rovers in mid table and no one impressed with Eustace in the summer. If he goes now, he got Birmingham into 6th, kept us up, sold Sammie and then got us into 6th. If I was him I'd go while my stock was very high. If he can keep Derby up, he's even more attractive to clubs in the summer. If he doesn't, it's not his responsibility and he can lead a promotion charge next year with one of the divisions favourites. If we had pushed the boat out, got him what he requested early in January and he believed the play offs were achievable, he'd be more likely to stay. As it is, I think it's a very easy decision to leave.

I don't think Jim is responsible for us losing. I don't think you are responsible for the January transfer window. Everyone keeps bleating about us not being good enough for the top top six. Yet we are 6th and it's now February.

Maybe something to do with Derby? Serves us right if he scarpers. Whilst I understand commercial reality, us being in the play offs all year was good enough reason to gamble on this manager and squad. Bigger money, spent earlier, nay have given us a few points breathing space between 4th and 6th. Armstrong scores today for West Brom for example.

I get page not found if I click on the above link. Two rovers shirts then the not found message. I was also strugging to get the homepage but that seems better now. Some usernames were showing page not found. Some of my own account info I couldn't reach. But all of the above seems to be good now. On the subject of the design, layout and functionality of the site it is so much better than the vast majority of other fan sites I visit. Genuinely. That is not me being biased. Commercially it may help if the range of products available in the shop were widened and the support / subscribe information was a bit more in your face. Meanwhile I sell a product range, if these were somehow promoted to site members successfully I would happily donate an agreed percentage to.this site. Maybe create a commercial section were users can advertise their products and services and then once work/ money has changed hands the site could benefit from the lead generation? Brfcs.com went down for me for a couple of days prior to North End. I couldn't access the home page and had to find links embedded within the forum to view. I missed the site.

Good result for Millwall at Leeds. I wonder if Leeds fans would have taken winning the FA Cup over promotion. I suspect not.

Possibly, I just think the owners might receive an offer they could stomach if promoted and cut their losses. But nothing makes sense in Venkys Rover land so who truly knows.

Possibly but i think we getting to crunch time. I might be wrong, but nothing lasts forever.

Aa a professional football Club you represent yourself to the best effect every time you play. I hope we win against Wolves 10-0. However, winning promotion gives us the chance to secure the clubs future in many ways for generations to come. Plus the chance to get rid of these owners. Every gane is a cip final in the PL and the financial benefits of promotion far outweigh some temporary enjoyment in a cup competition.

Thanks to everyone involved for all your efforts and hard work.

I think for one of the first times this season Eustace got it badly wrong. We weren't threatened in the 2nd half until he made his substitutions. Cantwell and ACD contributed absolutely nothing.

Fuck.

Well done Travis. Well done Dolan.

Lucky to be only one nil down.
